This headline has got to be the stupidest ever: “Bush, Schwarzenegger Flee to World’s Biggest Red State<\/a>“! So who is ridiculous enough to be red-baiting<\/i> (albeit semi-humorously) the nation’s two top Republicans? Who else but Arianna Huffington? She’s plastered it in big red letters at the top of her “Huffington Post” website — at a moment when the really big<\/i> news is that that both parties are readying resolutions setting the stage for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The really funny part is that, when you click on the headline you’re greeted by an Associated Press story that says: Schwarzenegger Promotes Trade in China<\/a>. Aha! Obviously it’s all a Commie plot — why, those traders<\/i>!<\/p>\n

The “Huffington Post” was meant to be a left-wing version of the Drudge Report, but it is no such thing. Matt Drudge, whatever his faults, at least has a nose for news: the losers over at Huffpuff wouldn’t know a real news story it grabbed them by the hair, threw them down on the bed, and … well, you get the picture.<\/p>\n

Ms. Huffington and her crew are so wrapped up in their California Dreamland of partisan ideology that they have lost whatever connection to reality they once had. Arianna can be a perceptive writer, but as an editor she lacks judgement, i.e. she hasn’t any at all. And I suspect her underlings are worse. <\/p>\n
